Next we can work on the discrepancies in various records. :-) FamilySearch.org database of the 1880 Census, Ward 5, Sheboygan, Sheboygan, WI, BARTINHAGEN {sic}, Claus, 45, worker in chair factory; Mary, 33; Diedrick, 17; Mary, 13; Katie, 11, all b. Hanover; Nicholas, 1, b. WI. [Notice that Katie was 11 in 1880, so b. 1868/9. If she came at age one, the immigration would have been 1869/70, but other records say imm. 1872 {or 1881, incorrect}.] FamilySearch IGI verifies death date for Claus, 13 Mar. 1913. Heinrich Dietrich BARTENHAGEN, son of Maria and Claus, m. 22 Oct. 1892, Lincoln Co., WI, Mathilda Caroline Wilhelmine KRUESS, dau/o Barbara LOTHHOLY & August KRUESS. Scott., Lincoln, WI, 1905: BARTHENAGEN H. D., 40, b. Germany; wf. Matilda, 30; ch. Mary, 11; William, 6; Henry, 1; Carl, 3 mos. FamilySearch.org has a copy of the actual 1900 census. I believe that Claus was listed as Claus, not Charles, though his name is hard to see. (Transcription ad GenWeb says Charles, & I also thought it was Charles at first reading.) On the same page, the birth month of Julius POPHAL is listed as April 1861, and Katie, Apr. 1868. Henry BARTENHAGEN, b. July 1864, & family are on the same page. FamilySearch and Wisconsin Historical Society have Carl Julius Herman POPHAL, son of Wilhelm POPHAL & Johanna TESSMAN, m. 2 Nov. 1889, Lincoln Co., Katharinia BATENHAGEN {sic}, dau/o Claus BATENHAGEN & Maria SCHLIETMANN. Do you have an actual record showing their marriage on 21 Nov.? Census of 1910, Scott, Lincoln, WI, BARTENHAGEN, Claus, 71, he & parents b. Germany, imm. 1881 {sic, ca. 1870/2}; wf. Mary, 65; with Frank SCHULT, 39; & Augusta, 29. POPHAL, Julius, 49; Kata, 42; Martha, 19; Mary, 18; Bertha, 15; Minna, 14; Augusta, 12; Margate, 10; Emma, 8; Herman, 6; William, 3; Lena, 21 months, Carl, 11 months. Franz SCHULT, 30, b.

Hanover, Germany, s/o John RUTHER & Hedwig LAURHIS, , m. 28 Apr. 1906, Scott, Linc., WI, Helena BARTENHAGEN, d/o Claus BARTENHAGEN & Maria SCHLECHTMAN.
